Wow, they are really expanding. I wonder if they ever will be as big as Starbucks.

I actually think a building over the street would be really cool and urban-like. I'd love to see that!

I don't think there's any chance of the northern portion of 480 to be torn down until they build a new Missouri River bridge to connect the North Freeway to 680. Then they could route 480 up that way. I know there are plans for this new freeway section along 16th north of Epply. While I know there a...

Cupid's undie run is being moved indoors due to weather.

I was surprised to see it's only going to get into the 20s after getting close to 50 today.

Center between 168th and 156th is also terrible right now. It looks like it needs to be resurfaced.

You are correct. Cruz is actually a very smart man, but his views are so misguided that he says things that sound incredibly stupid.

While there is no sidewalk on the north side of Center, there is one on the south side. It would be a expensive to put one in on the north side since they would have to widen the bridge. And with the relocation of the northbound 72nd St exit, there should be a crosswalk right into that area.

They've been looking for new space down there for a while. I remember them saying something about that in a town hall about half a year ago. They are completely cramped down there and there is no room for any more people. But getting this new facility doesn't mean they are going to be hiring a bunch...

I was kind of thinking along the lines of city-state when I originally wrote that yesterday. I've had the idea from when I was younger that that may be more representative of certain areas. Now I know that Omaha may not be on the same level as the other cities listed, but just imagine if CB was part...

Actually I only said I concur because I feel this part of the state is way different than the rest. Never said I cannot stand the rural parts or that I have a problem with our governor. I just think it logically makes sense similar to splitting up California. I don't know if it's the best idea or no...

I concur.

The funny thing is all the ISPs hate Verizon now for their lawsuit that threw out the old rules. Now they are going to be facing much stricter ones.

I read that somewhere too.

Apparently Better Call Saul is going to premiere Sunday on AMC. I had originally heard it was going to be a prequel, but I guess it's not:

My grandfather has surgery at the Med Center a couple years back and was given the choice to be transfered to the VA after of stay at NMC. Obviously he stayed put and they just sent the bill into whoever they needed to. It seems to me like it's logical to outsource medical care to private faciliti...

So they only plan on having one?

I haven't been in a Walmart for years either due to the way they treat their employees.

That is so awesome!

So on my to work this morning, I saw that there was a car on the embankment underneath Dodge at 108th Ave . As I turned the curve coming from entering the frontage road going westbound, the car just starts rolling down and slams into the northbound lanes of 108th Ave. Since I was in the southbound l...

Nice work Garrett!

So requiring IDs to cash a check, open a bank account, gain access to a safe deposit box, drive a car, buy smokes or liquor, or get on an airplane is OK, but we should just trust you in the polling place? It seems like we are creating a law to fix a problem that does not exist. Greg Exactly! It's b...

It's probably just the commercial sites that are expensive.

I love Omaha but the politics of the state of Nebraska are not progressive enough of attract a significant number of young people or tech companies--which will provide many of the jobs of the future. The state is too religious, too anti-immigrant, anti-black, anti-woman, and anti-gay. It kills me ...

Tried going there Friday and noticed they were closed. It's too bad - I really loved their bread.

Was approached by a cameraman with KETV wanting to take some b-roll of me filling up for their story about $1.99 gas tonight. My total came out to just a little over $30!

Paid $42 last night to fill up. About $20 less than normal. I literally said "holy |expletive|!" when the pump stopped.

Thanks Coyote!

It'd be much better to just get away from oil.

Wow, I was surprised to see one of my friends in that video.

They're tier 3 projects in the Build Nebraska Act. So they've haven't even started yet.

Right now Google Earth is showing the Lincoln Beltway:

I personally really like unique street/intersection configurations. I know traffic flow and safety typically are problems, but it really adds character to the city.
